Grace Gao (activist)
Grace Gao, also known as Grace Geng, is a Chinese-American human rights activist. She is daughter of imprisoned Chinese human rights lawyer and dissident Gao Zhisheng. She and her family have been spied on, beaten and intimidated by the Chinese authorities. She lectures internationally to promote her father's book A China More Just and to bring attention to his case (currently, he has been disappeared by the Chinese authorities), and speak out against human rights abuses in China.
And so, I find myself in a position of picking up the mantle and becoming a human rights defender like my father.
